Look, the executive branch isn't able to simply go raid legislative offices. It first needs to obtain concurrence from the judicial branch in the form of a search warrant. In this way, there remains a balance of power.

How many times in past US history such search took place?

Irrelevant to the case at hand. Either there is a separation of powers issue, or there isn't. Whether or not precedent exists has no bearing on this situation.
